‘Congress manifesto was more attractive’
Rakesh Sahu, state vice-president of the youth cell of Chhattisgarh Sahu Sangh, said that the BJP has given a large number of tickets and losses to the society. The Congress manifesto was fascinating. Issues like 2500 rupees support price, two year bonus, debt waivers, electricity bill half, unemployment allowance to youth have attracted people on the purchase of paddy for the farmers. These announcements of Congress led to a wave of change.

Sahu says that not only Sahu in this election, but candidates of all sections have lost elections, including big leaders.
He says that Sahu society does not have any differences with any party. We want to develop the state. Another office bearer says on condition of anonymity that after giving tickets to Lok Sabha MP Tamdhbruz Sahoo from Durg Rural Vidhansabha seat, Sahu society hoped that after the Congress victory, Tamwardha Sahu would be a strong contender for the post of chief minister. That is why Congress got the support of Sahu society.
